| - You know how sometimes you have found "the place?"
When it comes to dog boarding, we found it.
I cannot say enough good about this dog hotel. Our dog Anya is a bit timid and very attached to us. It's hard to think of her being placed in a dog cage, or being alone all night. This place is set up just like a house, with rooms containing couches, tvs, and lots of outdoor play space with kiddie pools. The dogs have the run of the place. They get plenty of exercise, and the staff plays with them. We enjoyed going online and watching our dog playing with the other dogs on the webcam. Not only was it reassuring but it was entertaining as well.
I really liked the way the dogs are separated by size. This way the little dogs play with the little dogs, and the big dogs play with the big dogs. No need to worry about your small or medium sized dog being afraid of bigger dogs.
Another plus is that there is always a responsible person on site at all times, even at night. Some places lock the dogs up, shut off the lights, and leave for the night. I really liked knowing that there were people there in case of an emergency.
Anya didn't seem to eat as much while she was away as she does at home. I was surprised at the amount of dog food they returned to us. It could be that she was too busy playing with the other dogs to be very interested in eating! We were not concerned because she was clearly happy and healthy when we picked her up.
She was exhausted when we got her home, just like a little kid after a long day at Disneyland. She slept for a whole day. For Anya, her visit to Just Like Home was a doggie vacation. She deserves it!
We scheduled a grooming session for her at the end of her stay. We were delighted with the job they did.
The people who own and operate this establishment are genuinely nice people. They were kind, friendly, relaxed and it's clear they love dogs.
We will definitely bring Anya back whenever we need boarding or grooming services, and if they eventually bring in a vet, more than likely we'll try their veterinary services too.
